I have been a patient of Dr Feenstra since I was a little girl. In high school I would see him right before a game to improve my strength and ability to perform better. As an adult I still continue my care with him. He has helped to correct my knees, my back and my neck. Medication from a family doctor only covers the pain, it does not correct my body. It was not until this spring when my two year-old daughter became sick that I realized how important chiropractic care was, even for little children. Children are very rambunctious and tend to put a lot of stress on their little bodies. My daughter is very "full of life!" She had come in contact with strep throat and had all the symptoms. At this time I did not have insurance and could not afford to see a family doctor and get medication for her. Dr Feenstra had kindly offered to examine her. After doing a thorough examination, he discovered that there was a vertebral subluxation in her cervical spine, the neck. This means her neck was not in alignment. Therefore, her spinal cord, her nervous system, her immune system and many other functions of her body were not functioning to the fullest - therefore allowing her to catch strep throat. After her alignment she immediately had the color in her face come back and her fever broke. Within a few hours her "love for life" also came back and she was full of energy! She no longer complained of having a sore throat or not feeling well. When the body is in alignment as God had intended then our bodies will function correctly. Chiropractic was the safest way to heal my daughter. Getting medication in her body would only cause so many other side effects. I hope many more people will go see a Chiropractor and learn more about subluxation.                 Isn't our goal as a society to become healthier? Why not start now? L. Hillman, North Jackson
